I've been with dollar general for almost 2 months now and the store I work at is simply bad. The 3rd key has been there longer than I have and this guy is literally taking a beating. The assitant manager and one of the other cashiers have made plans to have him fired because they don't like him. Going so far as going behind him and messing things up, placing stickers for sales back up after he's taken them down (He got in trouble once because he forgot some, so he was told to make sure they were down by the store manager) , plus the assitant manager is going around to other stores telling them he was sent home early, when in fact the very same store she told it too called later and found out that was a lie. When in fact the assitant manager just sits on her fat ### all night and does nothing, and when she does work she takes so long to do it. We don't get out of the store til after 10. Plus who in the hell made her an assitant manager? She is dumb as rocks, just yells at people and treats them like dirt, and really has no idea what is going on half the time.
The manager wont do anything but put bandaids on the issue and hopes they will even out. But every time I work with him, you can see what their doing to him is taking a toll on him. Only reason why he's still there is because he needs the job while looking for another one.
The 3rd key is tried to fight back but it always looks like he's just getting back at the assistant manager. Even though he is stating the truth and actual facts. I want to help the guy he is a really good guy and truly tries to take care of the customers and the employees. I won't blame him one bit when he leaves.

The circumstances that you describe are not only going on at Dollar General Stores. When the company sees you as a liability instead of a asset, they will try any means necessary to get you off the payroll. My health has declined over the 25 years that I worked at this company in Memphis, Tennessee. I truly gave 110% to my job wnenever I hit the door. I was there on the job when no one else was there. I accumilated several thousand hours of sick time. Now that I'm sick and have to go to the doctor the company (Memphis City Schools) does not want me to use any sick time. They actually would prefer that I quit and go out without full retirement. This would same them some money, my retirement money that I had worked so hard for all of these years. I was off work going to an orthopedic specialist for health conditions that came about because I was always on the job. When I returned to work with my doctors statement, I was written up for being out sick so many days. My best advice to you is to go to your labor union or file a complaint with the EEOC.
I was so excited I got a job at our new Copemish Michagan Dollar General, worked 10 to 13 hours a day to get the store open. Did not have a day off for 11 days straight, I was one of the few that did not take off early, figured I was the assistant manager as I was told that was what I was being hired in as even went as far as to quit my full time job else where cause I was told I was gauranteed this job! I figured I should put in the extra hours, with my position and all! Then we got the store open and was in my position for a full three days when my manager asked me, some other workers say your not happy I am going to make Kelly assitant Manager and offering you third key! I replied I quit my full time job after being offered the position with dollar general she agreed(Manager) the ones who told her this is a click and was made up. Then after being told my pay would reflect my full time pay on Febuary 19 and on $8.25 an hour I never recieved that then told everyone had to be temps for thirty days before making permanent pay. Believed all never should have the same day I was given a card saying how much she appriciated my hard work she then walked in and told me I was fired, because three people the same people this manager said where a "CLICK" said I freaked out the day before, never happened just told third key I needed her to stay on register because our delivery truck was just about there, her and the other worker was going to be leaving soon I had to get the new employee register counted out and get him done so he could run the register seeings how I was going to be busy signing in truck delivery first we had from corporate since opening no training but was told I did it right! Please I am Shocked never have been fired from any job exellent work record last job was 10 years, told how wonderful I did! When we were opening store Nick a very nice person from Ohio who set up our store was treated like an idiot all was told not to do what he told you we were all told he put all of us down. I told him once he was gone I was going to be made bad guy he tried his best had no help from all including and especially Manager. District Manager worked with me one day and told me he felt like she made the right choice for ###. manager(Kyle) would love to tell you whats going on Kelly bringing her kids to work, Annette telling you she was bring the keys the night I could not lock the stock room door cause I had no key, it was not her it was her daughters boyfriend who had her store keys that was bring them in for us to lock the back door she did not have possession of her own keys. Scared me Please notify Kyle District Manager of the North Western Michigan Dollar General stores. I watched her sraight out lie to you. Not only that but I also watched her take Money out of her pocket and put it in to help the store balance out for the day! It is very scary that they are letting these kinda people run the Dollar Generals. I would never work with that crew again all kinds of rules broke. It will not take long for her lies to put her in a spot, they always catch up to people!
